Main street is close enough for LRT service to McMaster. After all, Main West runs along the southern side of the campus. The tracks certainly don't need to cross through the campus. UofT does not have rapid transit intersecting its campus and they seem to be fine with that.

I was at Main/Longwood the other day and couldn't find the westbound stop. I'll have to look again.
U of T isn't an isolated suburban-style business park removed from the city. They have a subway running along University Ave and streetcar lines along College/Queen/Spadina etc.... It's a proper urban university.
Mac needs LRT to run through campus, not on bloody Main St away from all the students. Easiest route would probably be to have it run up the street just east of campus (Forsythe??), cut it westbound through the little pedestrian plaza beside the student centre and then southbound right up the centre of campus to Main St/front entrance. it would only need 2 stops - Student Centre and central campus north of the hospital.
It's easy enough, but we'll see if the city will stand up to these thugs running the show over there.
